Here's we might do then: QT_INSTALL_BINS - remains as it is, points to (on distros) /usr/lib/qt5/bin, contains unrenamed executables. QT_INSTALL_SYSTEM_BINS - points to /usr/bin and contains qmake5 (at least). As I said, I don't care if this is the main executable or a symlink to something else, as long as it exists, works and is official. Please note that we cannot expect QT_INSTALL_BINS to be in $PATH, so we need to change the documentation anyway. Either we point to the executables with their new and global names, or we document how to find them. > > But I'll happily implement those changes if it helps! > > It sounds like it will be more easy to accept for most people here.
